BLISS
BLISS is a system programming language developed at Carnegie Mellon University in 1970 by W. A. Wulf, D. B. Russell, and A. N. Habermann. It was a typeless block-structured programming language that included constructs for exception handling, coroutines, and macros. The language was used by Digital Equipment Corporation for in-house development, particularly for the OpenVMS operating system, but did not gain widespread popularity among customers.
